Astros @ Rays Game 6 Betting Odds, Prop Bets

The Astros were 1850 to win the ALCS and +3300 to win the World Series trailing 3-0 to the Rays. 

While it will still take a miracle, Houston is very much alive heading into Friday's pivotal Game 5 after winning 4-3 Thursday.

Friday's game features a line of -143 Tampa Bay with Blake Snell starting and +126 Houston with Framber Valdez starting.  The total was coming in at 8.

Tampa Bay hit three solo homers and stranded nine runners in a 4-3 loss Thursday in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series, failing to finish off the series for the second straight day while absorbing back-to-back defeats for the first time since Sept. 8-10.

“That big hit has continued to elude us with guys on base,” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said.

With Carlos Correa’s walkoff homer against formidable Tampa Bay reliever Nick Anderson, the Astros avoided elimination and trimmed the Rays’ once-daunting series lead to 3-2 after a string of missed offensive opportunities for the AL East champions.

Given two chances in about 24 hours to clinch their franchise’s second trip to the World Series, the Rays came up with just three runs and seven hits apiece in their two losses. Tampa Bay went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position in Game 5 after going 1 for 4 in Game 4.
